Idiopathic Neuropathy

Sometimes peripheral neuropathy seems to happen for no particular reason. Doctors call this disorder “idiopathic”, which means “of unknown cause.” Typically, idiopathic peripheral neuropathy occurs in people over 60 years old; progresses slowly (or doesn’t progress at all after the initial onset); and it can be very disruptive to someone’s normal life and lifestyle.
